since much Of our clothing is designed more
for concenling than protecting the body.
They were III vogue in Greece before the
Hoineric age, for Homer speaks of Laertes
wearing gloves to protect his hands while
working in the garden. Thu sweils Of the
middle ages, both male and female, were very
particular about their gloves. They were
very costly, often ornamented with precious
stones, and were worn by mighty dignitaries
on grand and ceremonial occasions.
Far back into the centuries, 600 years go,

tioE: That when Mayor Brown fined
Neimyer, he, johnson, had tried three
cases before three different jurics and
failed to convict. These cases were
mostly while Neimyer was exhibiting
in the old Turner Hall, and selling
beer in detached building, however,
Mayor Brown decided against Neimy-
or and fined him 800. Notice of ap-
peal was given and it was the duty of
the clerk to make out the transcript.
Judge Bower had set the city cases in
the court for the 10th of May. The
Judge says he supposed the case was
on the county court docket along with
the other cases and was surprised as
much as any one to find that II was
not. 1t was to late tU furnish these
papers for that term of court. 1t was
after this that he told the clerk not to
send the papers to the county court as
it was doubtful in his mind anyway,
whether it was a case upon which he
could make test, as the ordinance
was OH trial as well as Neimyer, hence
he advised Recorder Brown to dismiss
the case as well as the other two cases
and that new case would be present

Mann are material witnesses in the
case of Sim Ponell, the half-breed
who is charged with killing Lewis
Gibson and Billy Linton few weeks
ago in the Chickasaw Nation, and the
government has sent an officer after
them. The case is pending in Com
missioner Burford's court. Before the
the military board of inquiry at Fort
Sill, Mrs. johnson testified that she,
Patsey Mann, her granddaughter, Sim
Ponell, Gibson Linton were travelling
together, and were going into camp
when she heard shot, and saw Sim
Ponell shoot the men. The girl testi-
fled that Sim shot the men. Both the
men were in the wagon. Sim shot
Gibson while in the wagon. Linton
jumped out and Sim shot him rs he
ran. Neither woman or girl knew of
any quarrel between the men, and that
Sim had never killed man before.
Ponell in his examination before the
same board said they lived at Daniels
Mills, Bush Greek, Chickasaw Nation.
He came from Graham, Texas; that
Gibson and Linton came with him.
He said they were killed by James
Bones, John Bones and James Har-
bolt. They killed the men because
they had been witnesses against
Bones and Harbolt in hog case. He
said he was getting wood benin the
wagon when the men were shot. That
Bones and Harbolt rode up to the
wagon and shot Gibson dead and shot
Linton as he jumped out and on the
run. All three were white mea.
